DOLAN General Manager-Chief Engineer DATE March 23,1982 SUBJECT E OF PROPERTY OWNED. BY SHARON A. GRACE AND AUTHORIZE $5900 FOR THE CONDEMNATION - PROJECT 2695 TYPE OF ACTION AUTHORIZE CONDEMNATION AND FUNDS Jay S. McCoy INITIATING DEPT./DIV. Construction and Services SUBMITTED BY ISSUE: Certain points were raised by Counsel for Sharon Grace during the condemnation hearing which needed clarification. BACKGROUND: Sharon Grace's attorney proposed a new route for the IS-inch trunk sewer which would result in the sewer being on the west side of the subject property (see attached map). The extra cost associated with the change is: 200 feet lS" pipe @ $65 = manhole @ $2000 Total estimated cost $13,000 2,000 $15,000 The proposed route is not justified because: 1. There is no benefit gained from the added $15,000 cost. 2. Two additional right angle turns in the horizontal alignment will be added which will decrease the flow carrying capability of the pipe 1 i ne. 3. There is a garage at the extreme north end of Madsen Lane which the sewer will have to be routed around. 4. Additional sewer easements would have to be acquired which were not planned for, 5. There is no advantage to the District to modify the alignment as designed. A question was raised concerning any physical constraints or problems which might make the proposed route impossible. There are no such constraints or problems other than the garage mentioned above. Another questioned centered around enhancement that the proposed sewer would have on the Grace property. If said Grace property were to be developed today, a public sewer main would have to be extended some 300 feet at an approximate cost of $6000. If the District installs the proposed trunk sewer, the public sewer main would not be needed. Thus the Grace property could be enhanced by some $6000 as a result of the pro- posed trunk sewer. If the Grace property were to develop such that connections could be made into the existing sewer on Madsen Lane, the proposed trunk sewer would provide little enhancement to the Grace pro- perty. REVIEWED AND RECOMMENDED FOR BOARD ACTION ~ CLW 2 The issue' of severance was raised. There is no severance in this in- stance because the p~oposed easement is totally adjacent to the east side of the panhandle property owned by Grace. The smaller property east of the proposed sewer is a separate lot owned by Grace but is already severed from the panhandle lot by a property line. Values of previ6usly purchased easements were based on the market value of land in the surrounding area as is the Grace easement. It would not be appropriate to arbitraily increase the $5900 offer to Sharon Grace as this action would be outside of the precedent set when the other easements for this project were acquired. RECOMMENDATION: 1. Authorize District Counsel to proceed with con"'" demnationof property owned by Sharon A. Grace, Parcel 12, Job 2695. 2. Authorize $5900 as the approximate cost of the easement.

DOLAN General Manager-Chief Engineer DATE March 24, 1982 SUBJECT CONDUCT A HEAR I NG FOR CONS tDERAT I'ON OF THE ADOPT I ON OF THE NEGATIVE DECLARATION FOR THE BUTTNER ROAD SEWER PROJECT TYPE OF ACTION ADOPTION OF NEGATIVE DECLARATION SUBMITTED BY Jay S. McCoy INITIATING DEPT./DIV. Construction and Services ISSUE: An initial environmental study and Negative Declaration for the Buttner Road Sewer project has been prepared. BACKGROUND: On March 18, 1982, the Board established April 1, 1982 as the date for the hearing and consideration of the Negative Declaration of the subject sewer project. An initial environmental study has been prepared. for the project and based on this study it was found that the project will not have a significant effect on the environment. A I'Notice of Intent to issue Negative Declaration" was sent to all property owners fronting the proposed sewer main, and other responsible agencies. Sufficient time has now elapsed for comments from these responsible parties, so that the Final Negative Declaration can be considered for adoption. Attached is the initial study for the subject project which includes the following mitigation measures to avoid potentially significant effects: (a) Paving of trench area to be done as soon as practical after sewer main is installed. (b) Trench shoring will be required according to OSHA safety orders and accepted construction practices. (c) All trench material will be compacted to District standards. (d) Limit construction to normal daytime hours of operation (8:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M., Weekdays only). Use properly muffled trucks and equipment.

Eng. 2 4/1/82 SUBMITTED BY Jarred.M~yamoto-Mills INITIATING DE,PT.!DIV. Eng i neer I ng BACKGROUND: There are three holding basins at the treatment plant pro- viding storage for flows that are bypassed during peak storm flows and emergencies. The District has embarked on a three-year program to return all three holding basins to their original operating condition. Holding Basin ^ was renovated in 1979 and Holding Basin B was renovated in 1980. Holding Basin C was used between 1975 and August 1980 to store alum sludge accepted from CCCWD. During the last construction season the alum sludge was turned to facilitate drying and a portion of the alum sludge was removed. Holding Basin C is now ready for the renovation work. In November 1981 the Board of Directors authorized $15,000 for design of the Holding Basin "C11 Renovation project (removal of alum sludge deposits, reconturing the basin interior for proper drainage, improvements to the drain-back structure, and improvements to the dechlorination facility piping). Since that time, several items of work have been added to the project scope. These include: (1) A small pump station for complete dewatering and optimal use of Basin IIC", including necessary electrical work; (2) Removal of alum sludge from the Alum Sludge Basin I' , (3) Additional work at the 'IDrainback Structure" to assure proper flow measurement. In addition, installation of vacuum relief valves for protection of the 72-inch outfall will now be included as part of the Basin "C" work (funding for design of this item was approved by the Board in Februa ry 1982). The renovated basin will provide approximately 30 million gallons of additional storage capacity (20 hours at current dry weather flow). Completion of project design including all items in the current scope of work will require an additi.onal authorization of $7tOOO.

DOLAN General Manager-Chief Engineer DATE March 26, 1982 SUBJECT APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT NO. 11 TO THE TASK A AGREEMENT WITH METCALF & EDDY FOR DESIGN OF PRECAST WALL PANEL ANCHORAGE MODIFICATIONS AND AutHORIZE $73,040 IN SEWER F' TYPE OF ACTION APPROVE AMENDMENT AND AUTHORIZE FUNDS INITIATING DEPT./DIV. Engineering Div. SUBMITTED BY Joye Lynn Kurasaki, Assoc.Engineer BAC KGROUND Metcalf & Eddy (M&E) is currently under contract to provide engineering services for the Stage 5A Project Completion work. During Phase I of the precast wall panel investigation, M&E's subconsultant (H. J. Degenkolb, Associates) verified that some of the panel anchorages were deficient. This finding was based upon a review of the design drawings and calcula- tions and visual observations made during a walk through of the plant. Phase II of the precast wall panel investigation involved the X-ray investigation work to define the as-built conditions of the panel anchorages. The X-ray shots showed that some of the panels were not constructed or installed as designed. Under this proposed contract amendment, M&E and their subconsultant will perform some additional field work and will util ize their field findings and the results of the Phase I and II effort to design the precast wall panel anchorage modifications for major structures. The budget cost for this amendment is $73,040. It should be stressed that this is a budget amount and not a total price. During the field work portion of the proposed work, some unknowns may be encountered that would affect the level of effort required. The total price will be set. after a determina- tion can be made on the level of effort. M&E will not exceed the above budget cost without previous authorization. The cost for this proposed contract amendment will be considered for eligibility by the State Water Resources Control Board under the Clean Water Grant Program; however, grant funding cannot be guaranteed at this time. RECOMMENDATION Authorize GM-CE to execute Amendment No. 11 to the Metcalf & Eddy Task A Agreement. Authorize $73,040 in Sewer Construction Funds to cover this work.
